On selection of statistics for approximate Bayesian computing (or the method of moments)

A cross validation method for selection of statistics for Approximate Bayesian Computing, and for related estimation methods such as the Method of Simulated Moments, is presented. The method uses simulated annealing to minimize the cross validation criterion over a combinatorial search space that ma...
